Wow! What great cards, Linda. Love the metallic look on the first card, the glittery appeal of the second card, and the great texture with multiple colors of EP on the 3rd card! I'm also jealous of your perfectly tied bow! Thanks for treating my eyes to your talents!

I LOVE the lion's crown and his beautiful carpet, and the car looks amazing on the first one with those Spellbinders dies! But my favorite is the background of the third - what a brilliant idea!! SUPERB!

Linda, Such fantastic cards! Love the classic car with those masculine colors. The Lion king is adorable with his crown, but I love the frog most of all! He's really sweating things out and the Waterfall is the perfect touch. Incredible bow on that card! Such great inspiration. Thanks so much.

You've done a fantastic job in creating cards everyone will feel inspired by, Linda! The background technique on "winning" is fabulous All three cards present with textured backgrounds, and wonderful elements! Thanks for bringing such diverse inspiration to the Hop!

Hard pressed to pick a favorite Linda. I think I like the first the best - so elegant with such great colors too. But love the idea of the second card. And really like how the background came out on the third - that turned out so neat! Great group of cards!

I'm a sucker for bronze and copper ~ that lovely antiquey feel! It makes for a great masculine note to any card. The lion king made me laugh and is such a cute card-for-a-guy! And your frog card is also fantastic! I'm guessing you used a brayer with rubber bands? It turned out really cool!!
